The Rusty Spoke

Bike Mechanic

The Rusty Spoke Community Bicycle Initiative is a volunteer-based organization dedicated to bicycle advocacy in the Phoenix community. The Rusty Spoke's objective is to provide space for DIY (Do It Yourself) bicycle repair and recycling, and to encourage bicycle awareness through education and outreach. Based in downtown Phoenix, the Rusty Spoke is a safe and open space to ensure that all feel welcome.

We have a well-stocked workspace with most, if not all, of the tools that you need to work on your bike. Bikes come in a variety of configurations and we have the tools for pretty much all of them (save a few specialty tools). We also have been known to make improvised tools when needed; just because we don’t have one doesn’t mean we can’t make it work. DIY is encouraged at the Rusty Spoke and we have a few volunteers who specialize in creative ways to fix or modify your bike. Read more

    Great place to get a bike(work trade) .you volunteer 5 hours and you can pick a bike from there work trade bikes. When you have got you're bike you can also work on it there and if you need help the staff is there to help you learn how to fix it yourself from the second hand parts that they have.

    As soon as I walked in the shop today a young couple were struggling to repair a bike. I instantly stepped up to help them out and teach them a few things. It felt really good to help out and at the same time I now have time logged in to build me a nice bike. Thanks Rusty Spoke.....
